I built a new type of AI tool; it generates 3D objects composed of their constituent parts (instead of the monolithic solid blobs all 3D AI generators produce).

[Original Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtificialInteligence/comments/1te7aww/i_built_a_new_type_of_ai_tool_it_generates_3d/)

The video shows a washing machine with separate, functional internal parts. It's even shown animated, because of accurate internal hinge and socket design.
This is a new technique compared to how AI is currently used to generate 3D objects. State of the art 3D generators like Meshy or Tripo operate as if molding a 3D shape out of clay.
In contrast, my technique does not generate a 3D shape at all.
It generates code - which in turn runs, generating the 3D object you see. A byproduct of that approach is getting a 3D object with separate, functional parts (which is what we actually wanted).
The project is free and on github:

Some generated examples:
- Boston Dynamics-style robot dog:

- Microwave (random, but shows part separation well):

Would love to hear feedback.
